Problems
Fields Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Too many problems
Oh why am I here
I need to be me
'Cause you're all too clear
And I can see
There's something wrong with you
But what do you expect me to do?
At least I gotta know what I wanna be
Don't come to me if you need pity
Are you lonely you got no one
You get your body in suspension
That's no problem, problem
Problem, the problem is you

Eat your heart out on a plastic tray
You don't do what you want
Then you'll fade away
You won't find me working
Nine to five
It's too much fun a being alive
I'm using my feet for my human machine
You won't find me living for the screen
Are you lonely all your needs catered
You got your brains dehydrated

Problem, problem
Problem, the problem is you
What you gonna do

Problem, problem

Problem, problem
Problem, the problem is you
What you gonna do with your problem
The problem is you
Problem

I ain't equipment, I ain't automatic
You won't find me just staying static
Don't you give me any orders
For people like me
There is no order

Bet you thought you had it all worked out
Bet you thought you knew what I was about
Bet you thought you'd solved all your problems
But you are the problem

Problem, problem
Problem, the problem is you
What you gonna do with your problem
I'll leave it to you
Problem, the problem is you
You got a problem
What you gonna do

They know a doctor
Gonna take you away
They take you away
And throw away the key
They don't want you
And they don't want me
You got a problem
The problem is you
Problem, what you gonna do
Problem, I'll leave it back, I have a
Problem, you got a problem

Problem, problem,
Problem, problem,
Problem, problem,
Problem, problem,
Problem, problem,
Problem, problem,
Problem, problem,
Problem





Problem, problem,
Problem

Overall Meaning

The song "Problems" by Fields Lee is a straightforward commentary on the struggles of life and the challenges we face as individuals. The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the lyrics - "too many problems, oh why am I here" - demonstrating a feeling of being overwhelmed and lost. The singer of the song is seeking his or her own identity, and is distancing themselves from others ("cause you're all too clear") in order to discover what they truly want to be. The song critiques society's expectations to work a nine to five job, and encourages the listener to pursue their own interests by "using their feet for their human machine." The chorus repeats "problem, problem, the problem is you" and encourages the listener to take control of their own problems and not rely on others for pity or support.


The song also comments on the pitfalls of modern life, such as consuming unhealthy food on a plastic tray ("eat your heart out on a plastic tray"), and becoming overly reliant on technology ("you won't find me living for the screen"). The singer of the song is depicted as someone who refuses to conform to society's expectations and instead chooses to live life on their own terms.


Overall, "Problems" is a powerful commentary on the struggles of life and the importance of having a clear sense of identity and purpose. This is a message that continues to resonate with listeners today.
